Comprehensive Network: Starting with Martial Artists to Stack Passive Skills

Chapter 127 Armored Carnivores

The oppressive feeling of 3000 times the standard gravity of the planet is rapidly diminishing, and his bones, muscles, and internal organs are being reconstructed in density and resilience at an alarming rate under the control of the void template.

This is the essential guarantee that allows the behemoths to roam freely throughout the heavens and myriad worlds!

[Wow! Qingfeng, you look so much cooler now!] Xingyin's thoughts were the first to arrive, filled with undisguised admiration. [This kind of carapace looks really tough, perfect for combat!]

"Indeed, the energy response is much stronger; it's no longer as malnourished as before," Chi Yan assessed with his powerful will. "Now, it's finally starting to look like us."

[Your bloodline has awakened? No wonder you were released alone; perhaps your original clan couldn't afford to support you?] Frostshadow's thoughts carried a hint of understanding and confusion. [This should make the hunt even more interesting.]

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Lei Shan's mind was the most active, urging, "While you've just evolved and your senses are at their sharpest, let's continue searching for delicious food! I sense a very fragrant energy fluctuation coming from that crystal forest to the east!"

"That's right!" Twin Sleep's thoughts also carried a hint of curiosity. "Perfect timing to test your new ability. If I remember correctly, this planet has been stocked with lots of good ingredients!"

Lu Qingfeng raised his head and looked directly at the cubs. Although they were four or five meters tall, they were still no match for these behemoths. At least they allowed him to have an equal dialogue with them.

Through the mental network, he could clearly feel the pure and direct goodwill of the cubs; this was the benefit of the mental network connection!

"Okay," Lu Qingfeng transmitted his will, after all, he himself was also extremely eager for new things, and it would be even better if it was something he could eat.

Now, the effects of [Growth Resonance] have taken hold after the initial adjustment period!

The void energy fluctuations emanating from the five cubs interacted in a strange way with the small amount of void energy that had just been generated within Lu Qingfeng's body.

The surrounding void energy seemed to be drawn to them, converging more actively towards them and being absorbed by their respective bodies or void furnaces.

This feeling is like being in a huge, invisible energy amplification field, where every cell in the body is cheering, which only adds to the malice!

"roar!"

Xingyin let out a deep, powerful roar and took the lead, heading towards the crystal forest in the east, which everyone had previously agreed upon.

The heavy footsteps shook the earth once again.

Five giant beast cubs of different shapes, along with a humanoid being clad in biological bone armor, formed a hunting party capable of making most animals on this planet tremble in fear.

Just kidding, even sentient plants tremble (hahaha)

Their heavy footsteps pounded the ground as they traversed valleys, crossed streams, and plunged into a strange jungle composed of countless dark blue energy crystals.

The crystals refracted a faint light from who-knows-where, illuminating the jungle in a bizarre and surreal way.

Not long after venturing deeper into the jungle, a sharp, metallic hissing sound came from ahead.

Through the gaps in the crystal jungle, you can see a group of about seven or eight reptiles, each seven or eight times larger than a beetle.

They are nearly five meters long, covered with black carapaces that shimmer with a metallic sheen, and their mouthparts, like giant cutting pincers, are gnawing at the high-energy minerals in the low-lying crystal clusters.

[It's an iron beetle!] Xingyin sent a message with disdain: [The shell is too hard, there's not much meat, and the taste is so-so, but their energy cores are quite nutritious!]

[Perfect, as long as it's edible!]

Lu Qingfeng did not wait for the cubs to make the first move, but instead launched the first charge!

Its bone-armored body shot out like a cannonball, leaving a shallow mark on the crystallized ground. It locked onto a large, dark-gold beetle that looked like the leader.

The swarm of insects was startled and began to hiss loudly.

Several beetles immediately turned around, revealed their mandibles, and pounced on Lu Qingfeng, attempting to protect their leader.

Lu Qingfeng didn't bother with any defense and just threw a punch straight at the opponent!

On the fist, dark red blood energy mixed with pale purple void energy formed a spiraling force that slammed heavily onto the front carapace of an iron beetle blocking its path.

"clang!"

The beetle's shell shattered instantly, and the enormous impact sent it tumbling backward, its six legs flailing wildly.

But does that mean it ends there? No! The power of Lu Qingfeng's punch goes far beyond that!

The accompanying endless damage property continuously penetrates the hard physical shell, directly affecting its relatively fragile energy cycle and life tissues inside.

That beetle was dead! He did the same to the others, and soon only the leader was left, all alone.

Facing this lone creature, Lu Qingfeng used extraordinary agility to close the distance, his left hand forcefully gripping the connection between the leader's head carapace and body, disrupting its balance.

His right fist was drawn back to his waist, and all his strength was concentrated—

"Sky Domination - Piercing Strike!"

"puff!"

Lu Qingfeng's fist, along with half of his forearm, slammed directly into the iron beetle leader's neck carapace at the junction!

The dark gold leader's hiss abruptly ceased, its massive body convulsed violently a few times, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud, the light in its eyes quickly extinguishing.

Seeing their leader instantly killed, the other armored beetles fell into chaos, hissing, panicking, and fleeing in terror!

But the five impatient cubs had already surrounded them—

[Network notification: You have successfully killed and devoured the Crystal-Eating Ironclad Beetle Leader (Elite/Small Swarm Boss)!]

[Life energy is being transformed due to the breakthrough process of the Feast —]

Health +100, Energy Resistance (Gold and Stone) +3%, Void Forge Energy Reserves Slightly Increased

[Exclusive Growth Quest [Cradle's Bite] Progress: 1/10 (Different Types)]

[Feast Breakthrough Special Energy Accumulation: 2%]

"Not bad, what a good start." Lu Qingfeng felt the subtle changes in his body and looked at the young insects around him who were sharing the energy cores of other iron beetles. "Enjoy your feast, brothers!"

Xingyin, with a shimmering crystal between its teeth, sent a telepathic message: "How's it? The core of this iron lump tastes alright, right? The shell's a bit tough though."

Lu Qingfeng nodded, his thoughts responding simultaneously: [Abundant energy, where to next?]

Lei Shan immediately interjected excitedly: "South! The lava fields to the south have fire lizards. Their blood is hot, their energy is ferocious, and it's incredibly delicious—just open the lid and drink it!"

Frostshadow adds: [Or go to the Dark Swamp in the west, where there are Shadow Vines. Although they're slippery and hard to catch, they smell delicious!]

Chiyan also shared his opinion: "There are gargoyles on the northern plateau. I don't know which veteran got them while hunting and then left them here to breed. Their defense is extremely high! They're perfect for sharpening claws!"

"Stop, stop, stop arguing. Is there anything more challenging?" Lu Qingfeng called a halt to what was not really an argument.

Of course there is. The old guys didn't put us on this planet to enjoy ourselves. There's a dangerous place nearby. Let us take you there. The big guys in there bite pretty hard.
